Let $z_1, z_2, z_3$ be pairwise distinct complex numbers satisfying $|z_1| = |z_2| = |z_3| = 1$ and \[\frac{1}{2 + |z_1 + z_2|}+\frac{1}{2 + |z_2 + z_3|}+\frac{1}{2 + |z_3 + z_1|} =1.\] If the points $A(z_1),B(z_2),C(z_3)$ are vertices of an acute-angled triangle, prove that this triangle is equilateral.

Bassanio has three red coins, four yellow coins, and five blue coins. At any point, he may give Shylock any two coins of different colors in exchange for one coin of the other color; for example, he may give Shylock one red coin and one blue coin, and receive one yellow coin in return. Bassanio wishes to end with coins that are all the same color, and he wishes to do this while having as many coins as possible. How many coins will he end up with, and what color will they be?

Baron Munchausen took several cards and wrote a positive integer on each one (some numbers may be the same). The baron reports that he has used only two distinct digits to do that. He also reports that among the leftmost digits of the sums of integers on each pair of these cards there are all the digits from 1 to 9 . Can it occur that the baron is right? Maxim Didin

The ship [i]Meridiano do Bacalhau[/i] does its fishing business during $64$ days. Each day the capitain chooses a direction which may be either north or south and the ship sails that direction in that day. On the first day of business the ship sails $1$ mile, on the second day sails $2$ miles; generally, on the $n$-th day it sails $n$ miles. After of the $64$-th day, the ship was $2014$ miles north from its initial position. What is the greatest number of days that the ship could have sailed south?

An equilateral triangle $T$ with side $111$ is partitioned into small equilateral triangles with side $1$ using lines parallel to the sides of $T$. Every obtained point except the center of $T$ is marked. A set of marked points is called $\textit{linear}$ if the points lie on a line, parallel to a side of $T$ (among the drawn ones). In how many ways we can split the marked point into $111$ $\textit{linear}$ sets?

Dirock has a very neat rectangular backyard that can be represented as a $32\times 32$ grid of unit squares. The rows and columns are each numbered $1,2,\ldots, 32$. Dirock is very fond of rocks, and places a rock in every grid square whose row and column number are both divisible by $3$. Dirock would like to build a rectangular fence with vertices at the centers of grid squares and sides parallel to the sides of the yard such that [list] [*] The fence does not pass through any grid squares containing rocks; [*] The interior of the fence contains exactly 5 rocks. [/list] In how many ways can this be done? [i]Ray Li[/i]

Given a finite sequence with terms in the set $A=\{0,1,…,121\}$ , it is allowed to replace each term by a number from the set $A$ so that like terms are replaced by like numbers, and different terms by different numbers. (Terms may remain without replacement.) The objective is to obtain, from a given sequence, through several such changes, a new sequence with sum divisible by $121$ . Show that it is possible to achieve the objective for every initial sequence. [hide=original wording]Dada una secuencia finita con términos en el conjunto A={0,1,…,121} , está permitido reemplazar cada término por un número del conjunto A de modo que términos iguales se reemplacen por números iguales, y términos distintos por números distintos. (Pueden quedar términos sin reemplazar.) El objetivo es obtener, a partir de una sucesión dada, mediante varios de tales cambios, una nueva sucesión con suma divisible por 121 . Demostrar que es posible lograr el objetivo para toda sucesión inicial.[/hide]
